Turkey is in the middle of a debt crisis that goes way beyond the economic sanctions imposed by America. The all-mighty Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, believes that concepts like economic orthodoxy and fiscal responsability are Western conspiracies to end with Turkey.
This explains why, in the latest three years, the Turkish Central Bank has flooded the market with cheap credit, with almost no interest, and the Turkish Lira has been devaluated until losing two thirds of its value four years ago. Inflation is growing day after day. And there is a real risk for this country to enter in a hyperinflation scenario.
This wouldn’t be anything new. Turkish economy used to be famous for their inflation. Nonetheless, in this case, a financial collapse of Turkey would transmit to the rest of Europe pretty quickly. Turkish companies owe more than 300 billion USD to foreign banks. So a Turkish default would mean a gigantic hole to the European financial system. But… how did we get here? In this video, we tell you the story.

Ericsson Globe

Ericsson Globe (originally known as Stockholm Globe Arena) is the national indoor arena of Sweden, located in the Johanneshov district of Stockholm (Stockholm Globe City). The Ericsson Globe is currently the largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279feet). The volume of the building is 605,000 cubic metres (21,188,800 cubic feet). It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey.

On February 2, 2009, the naming rights to the Stockholm Globe Arena were officially acquired by Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, and it became known as the Ericsson Globe.

Tenants

The Globe is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the former home arena of AIK, Djurgårdens IF, and Hammarby IF. It opened in 1989 and seats 13,850 for ice hockey games, but is also used for musical performances as well as other sports than ice hockey, for example futsal (indoor football). It is owned by FCA fastigheter. The third team to play a home game in their league was Huddinge IK (three home games there, all in 1993), followed by Hammarby IF (20 home games in The Globen to this day) and AC Camelen (one game in 1998, in the sixth level league, with 92 spectators). The first international game played in Globen was between Hammarby IF (Sweden) and Jokerit (Finland) a couple of weeks before the grand opening, although the players were only 12 years old at the time (born 1977) and it was a friendly game. The arena has been the home of the finals of Sveriges Television's yearly music competition Melodifestivalen since 2002. Ericsson Globe also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 and has been chosen to host it again in 2016.

Al Jazeera

Al Jazeera (Arabic:الجزيرة‎al-ǧazīrahIPA:[æl dʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Peninsula", referring to the Arabian Peninsula), also known as JSC (Jazeera Satellite Channel), is a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialtyTV channels in multiple languages.

Al Jazeera is among the largest news organizations with 80 bureaus around the world. Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar. While Al Jazeera officials have stated that they are editorially independent from the government of Qatar, this assertion has been disputed.

The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. The station gained worldwide attention following the outbreak of war in Afghanistan, when it was the only channel to cover the war live, from its office there.

Al-Jazeera (Amman)

Al-Jazeera (Amman) (Arabic: الجزيرة) is a Jordanian football club based in Amman. Founded in 1947, the team plays at the Petra Stadium.

In the early 1940s, the club consisted of boys who shared common traits like age, social status, friendship, neighborhood, education and love for sports, especially football. They began practicing football as a team with intense training, and felt that their talents merged well. The team members enhancing and developing their talents included the late Amer Mufti, Tbelt Fattah and Abdul Raouf Al Attia, Abdul-Raouf Noha and Muhammad Ali Karyoti and Honorary Nanaa and facilitate the drum and facilitating the latest Shorbaji and Taher Al-Halawani Wool and Mohammed Abu Sultan, Mohammed and Omar News vegetative and Mohammed and Ahmed and Awad Hamid ..

Composition

The song's lyrics question the singer's purpose in life.

Recording

The song's first recording session was on 3 October 1967 along with "With the Sun in My Eyes" and "Words". The song's last recording session was on 28 October 1967. "World" was originally planned as having no orchestra, so all four tracks were filled with the band, including some mellotron or organ played by Robin. When it was decided to add an orchestra, the four tracks containing the band were mixed to one track and the orchestra was added to the other track. The stereo mix suffered since the second tape had to play as mono until the end when the orchestra comes in on one side. Barry adds: "'World' is one of those things we came up with in the studio, Everyone just having fun and saying, 'Let's just do something!' you know". Vince Melouney recalls: "I had this idea to play the melody right up in the top register of the guitar behind the chorus".

Can TURKEY go BANKRUPT? - VisualPolitik EN

Can TURKEY go BANKRUPT? - VisualPolitik EN

Can TURKEY go BANKRUPT? - VisualPolitik EN

Turkey is in the middle of a debt crisis that goes way beyond the economic sanctions imposed by America. The all-mighty Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, believes that concepts like economic orthodoxy and fiscal responsability are Western conspiracies to end with Turkey.
This explains why, in the latest three years, the Turkish Central Bank has flooded the market with cheap credit, with almost no interest, and the Turkish Lira has been devaluated until losing two thirds of its value four years ago. Inflation is growing day after day. And there is a real risk for this country to enter in a hyperinflation scenario.
This wouldn’t be anything new. Turkish economy used to be famous for their inflation. Nonetheless, in this case, a financial collapse of Turkey would transmit to the rest of Europe pretty quickly. Turkish companies owe more than 300 billion USD to foreign banks. So a Turkish default would mean a gigantic hole to the European financial system. But… how did we get here? In this video, we tell you the story.

Turkey is in the middle of a debt crisis that goes way beyond the economic sanctions imposed by America. The all-mighty Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, believes that concepts like economic orthodoxy and fiscal responsability are Western conspiracies to end with Turkey.
This explains why, in the latest three years, the Turkish Central Bank has flooded the market with cheap credit, with almost no interest, and the Turkish Lira has been devaluated until losing two thirds of its value four years ago. Inflation is growing day after day. And there is a real risk for this country to enter in a hyperinflation scenario.
This wouldn’t be anything new. Turkish economy used to be famous for their inflation. Nonetheless, in this case, a financial collapse of Turkey would transmit to the rest of Europe pretty quickly. Turkish companies owe more than 300 billion USD to foreign banks. So a Turkish default would mean a gigantic hole to the European financial system. But… how did we get here? In this video, we tell you the story.

IcelandPresidentOlafur Ragnar Grimsson tells Al Jazeera'sStephen Cole that Europe should let banks that are ran "irresponsibly" go bankrupt.
Speaking at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Grimsson also held his country as a model of economic recovery after its near-collapse four years ago.
"We didn't follow the traditional prevailing orthodoxies. And the end result four years later is that Iceland is enjoying progress and recovery."

Can TURKEY go BANKRUPT? - VisualPolitik EN

Turkey is in the middle of a debt crisis that goes way beyond the economic sanctions imposed by America. The all-mighty Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, believes that concepts like economic orthodoxy and fiscal responsability are Western conspiracies to end with Turkey.
This explains why, in the latest three years, the Turkish Central Bank has flooded the market with cheap credit, with almost no interest, and the Turkish Lira has been devaluated until losing two thirds of its value four years ago. Inflation is growing day after day. And there is a real risk for this country to enter in a hyperinflation scenario.
This wouldn’t be anything new. Turkish economy used to be famous for their inflation. Nonetheless, in this case, a financial collapse of Turkey would transmit to the rest of Europe pretty quickly. Turkish companies owe more than 300 billion USD to foreign banks. So a Turkish default would mean a gigantic hole to the European financial system. But… how did we get here? In this video, we tell you the story.

Ericsson Globe

Ericsson Globe (originally known as Stockholm Globe Arena) is the national indoor arena of Sweden, located in the Johanneshov district of Stockholm (Stockholm Globe City). The Ericsson Globe is currently the largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279feet). The volume of the building is 605,000 cubic metres (21,188,800 cubic feet). It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey.

On February 2, 2009, the naming rights to the Stockholm Globe Arena were officially acquired by Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, and it became known as the Ericsson Globe.

Tenants

The Globe is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the former home arena of AIK, Djurgårdens IF, and Hammarby IF. It opened in 1989 and seats 13,850 for ice hockey games, but is also used for musical performances as well as other sports than ice hockey, for example futsal (indoor football). It is owned by FCA fastigheter. The third team to play a home game in their league was Huddinge IK (three home games there, all in 1993), followed by Hammarby IF (20 home games in The Globen to this day) and AC Camelen (one game in 1998, in the sixth level league, with 92 spectators). The first international game played in Globen was between Hammarby IF (Sweden) and Jokerit (Finland) a couple of weeks before the grand opening, although the players were only 12 years old at the time (born 1977) and it was a friendly game. The arena has been the home of the finals of Sveriges Television's yearly music competition Melodifestivalen since 2002. Ericsson Globe also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 and has been chosen to host it again in 2016.
